CAUTION
When there is more than one leaving water zone, you must
ALWAYS install a mixing valve station in the main zone to
decrease (in heating)/increase (in cooling) the leaving
water temperature when the additional zone has demand.
Typical example:
Room (zone)
Heat emitters: Design

Living room (main zone)
Under floor heating:
▪ In heating: 35°C
▪ In

20°C
(only
refreshment, no real cooling
allowed)
Bed rooms (additional zone)
Heat pump convectors:
▪ In heating: 45°C
▪ In cooling: 12°C

INFORMATION
A pressure regulating valve should be implemented before
the mixing valve station. This is to guarantee the correct
water flow balance between the main leaving water
temperature zone and the additional leaving water
temperature zone in relation to the required capacity of
both water temperature zones.
▪ For the main zone:
▪ A mixing valve station is installed before the under floor heating.
▪ The pump of the mixing valve station is controlled by the ON/
OFF signal on the indoor unit (X2M/5 and X2M/7; normal closed
shut-off valve output).
▪ The room temperature is controlled by the user interface, which
is used as room thermostat.
▪ For the additional zone:
▪ The heat pump convectors are directly connected to the indoor
unit.
▪ The desired room temperature is set via the remote controller of
the heat pump convectors for each room.
▪ The heating or cooling demand signals of each heat pump
convector are connected in parallel to the digital input on the
indoor unit (X2M/1 and X2M/4). The indoor unit will only supply
the desired additional leaving water temperature when there is
an actual demand.
▪ The user interface connected to the indoor unit decides the space
operation mode. Mind that the operation mode on each remote
controller of the heat pump convectors must be set to match the
indoor unit.

1 (Thermo ON/OFF): When the
used external room thermostat or
heat pump convector can only
send a thermo ON/OFF
condition. No separation between
heating or cooling demand.
Shut-off valve output
Set to follow the thermo demand
of the main zone.
Shut-off valve
If the main zone must be shut off
during cooling mode to prevent
condensation on the floor, set it
accordingly.
At the mixing valve station
Set the desired main leaving
water temperature for heating
and/or cooling.
Benefits
▪
Comfort.
▪ The smart room thermostat functionality can decrease or
increase the desired leaving water temperature based on the
actual room temperature (modulation).
▪ The combination of the two heat emitter systems provides the
excellent heating comfort of the under floor heating, and the
excellent cooling comfort of the heat pump convectors.
▪
Efficiency.
▪ Depending on the demand, the indoor unit supplies different
leaving water temperature matching the design temperature of
the different heat emitters.
▪ Under floor heating has the best performance with ROTEX
HPSU.
